The locals a.k.a "Cebuanos" are quite known to have a salty palette so most foods that are loved here are savory and a little bit more on the salty side. This you can expect in "Street Food", Fast Food chains, and some restaurants. So if you want to try any of these popular foods, you can always ask them not to put too much salt when you order.

Here are the best of Cebu's distinctive food offerings that you can explore and savor while on the island.
